Dear Castro/Noise visitor,

We thought we’d drop you a note to bring you up to date, as we know that you must be concerned about the future of your organisation. Over the years, you have all, at some point, probably dropped a coin (or several!) into one of our collecting cans. Now it doesn’t matter what the name of this organisation is, was or might be, it’s the only organisation that exists to serve the LGBT community in a non commercial sense. So, your coins over the years have bought you the right to a stake in this organisation. We’d like to take this opportunity to let you all know that, despite problems with the alcohol license being issued on time, refurbishment works of gargantuan proportions, and many challenges, we have no intention of closing. We are closer to being fully licensed and we are confident that we offer enough of a haven to community members to remain valued and appreciated. So, thanks for toughing it out with us – this is your Castro and we have plenty more to offer you.
